The song is ハッピースLOVE♡, a word play on Happy and Peace, of course. It's the second song of their 3rd Indie single.

 

The first girl is leader Takahagi Chinatsu, the second is ace Yoshikawa Mayu.

 

I am very new to this fandom so if anyone (zam) sees anything false about what I wrote down, please correct me.

Thanks so much, I will give the full song a listen!

So I found this. I will just leave this here.

Their single made #1 weekly on Oricon's Indies chart!

Very good news indeed. I hope they put out as many songs this year as last year.

 

They surprisingly have many Youtube videos of short 20 minute events.

So, I wanted to translate their latest song and make a blog entry out of it, but I guess, I kinda failed...  I tried to translate the song, but I think the Japanese may be a bit too advanced/abstract for me, so I still, even at this moment, do not really grasp what Tsunku is talking about in this song.  So because I am not more than 80% sure of the meaning of the song, I decided to scrap it as a blog entry and just share it here for those who can get a bit of value from it.

English Interpretation (Sorta Kinda Translation)

 

Spoiler

I've felt just like this all night long

Because absolutely nothing is left in our relationship

 

How much are you gonna say

How twisted has our relationship become

Because absolutely nothing is left in our relationship

 

I'm not really superstitious, but

I decided myself

Until I get sleepy today

I want to be able to bear this 

That is an example of love

 

Ah, see, I told you, I just got an emotional uplift 

You can't even stop youth

 

She is a cute girl, but I've lost some, I've gained some

We have been proving we are not in that part of our relationship with our entire bodies

Now what's your next excuse?

 

If you are serious about doing it, nonsense like losing and winning are your strong points

Are you finished?  Being questionable is a problem, isn't it?

You understand it as well, right?

 

Exactly like I thought

That feeling is here

Because absolutely nothing is left in our relationship

 

How much will I cry

How sharp will this pain become

Because absolutely nothing is left in our relationship

 

I don't want to hear your excuses

I just want you to understand without blaming anyone 

Yeah, grabbing out to seize something

That is an example of love

 

Ah, That feeling of satisfaction

youth can't even be stopped

 

Its just some airhead, so its okay, everything is fine

That's not the kind of thing you should be using to prove your affection

Now what's your next excuse?

 

Nonsense like blood, the constellations are a good point

Isn't being charming a problem somehow or another

You understand that as well, right!?

I think this is the first time I saw a video from SatoUmi SatoYama hosted by UUG(2) members (cmiiw)
Kaji and Riko.

[zam（仮）]

UUG2 now have their own Youtube channel starting from today.
It is called NiKiChan!

This is the first video uploaded on their channel.

[jigenbakuda]

Thanks for the link.

[zam（仮）]

^You are welcome

UUG(2) new member audition was broadcast live on Showroom last night.


Clear favourite is No.96 Ami. Ami showed she can sing and dance. Hope she wins the audition.
I also like No.85 Yuria, the girl who played the guitar.

I have seen a tweet from a Japanese fan stating that Yuria might be a girl from the idol group AIS (Always Idol Song). I do not follow AIS so I am not sure if she had graduated or retired from AIS. Anyways, she already has a huge following on the new twitter account.

[Nayok-Kihara]

^Thankyou very much for those info

On Ami's twitter, her profile pic gave me a strong Utachan vibe. In the audition video I thought it was just my eyes playing tricks on me, but that twitter profile pic reinforced my first impression.

After watching the audition video again, Yuria is like Rin Version 2019

The audition video is finally uploaded on UUG's official channel. I don't know why it is not up on UUG2's channel

[ruel]

1,2,9,10,11 my favourite to advance

1,2,11 my top 3 

ami is omg tenshi! automatic in!❤

rina is one of my favourite member back in maria, never thought would see her again❤

masuho, i see a lot of potential on her. 

no.4 looks like onodera misa lol but she's kinda annoying

no.10 looks very familiar, maybe i've watched her in showroom before, talented

no.8 i don't think she'll fit in the group

no.3 needs more training

no. 9 ota haruka/neechin vibes 

[jigenbakuda]

I find the audition process fascinating and overwhelming. I don't know how many girls they are adding, but no matter the number I am going to be sad some of these girls are not in the group, I really like a lot of them. I think all 11 girls are idol material, but I'm sure some calculus is going on in the background to determine who will make it.

 

I am a fan of Rina, Kokoro, Satsuki, Erina, and Ami. Rina and Ami are at the top of my list, I will be the most upset if they don't make it. Kokoro is Super Cute! Her reserved nature is right up my alley, and her laugh, lol, so great. Plus she probably has the most growth potential of all the girls, lol.

 

Considering the 2nd generation of the group, I have 100% faith in the staff behind these girls picking the right girls.

My best impressions:

 

Nonoka
Rina
Sanako
Ami
Yuria

 

I fell in love with Nonoka, and Rina is just perfectly adorable in every way. I'd be surprised if Sanako is what they're really looking for, but her personality seems almost infectious in an amazing way. Ami and Yuria probably fit the bill the best in terms of what I'd expect they would want.
